ABSTRACT
Cochlear spiral canal ossification is one of the most critical issues in cochlear implantation. The article suggests a method of atraumatic drilling of the ossified spiral canal section and demonstrates the results of 45 surgical interventions performed according to this method. The experimental part of the study provides the inner ear structures syntopy presenting the results of topographic anatomical measurements which justify the application of the suggested method.
